Abstract
This talk discusses EIFL's work in Africa, Asia, and Europe regarding open science policies, strengthening repository developments, and skill-building initiatives. Community-driven efforts in Kenya, Serbia, Slovenia, and Malawi, are outlined, emphasising the role of collaboration for sustainability. A Wellcome-funded project in Africa to promote diamond open access also addressed challenges like incentivising editors and reviewers, infrastructure issues, and promoting equitable scholarly publishing. Additionally, European projects supporting non-profit publishing models are mentioned, such as the Arcadia-funded open climate campaign, aimed at making climate change research more accessible.
